Yeah, we-- Th-this is one thing where we don't agree on because for me, Hurts- I've never loved him as a pocket passer.
Last year we saw the running production went down obviously with a different coordinator, and Kevin Patullo was blamed for a lot of what went wrong in Philadelphia last year.
So they're happy to be moving on from that.
But just 7.1 YPA last year for Hurts, and now they've changed.
They have repainted this wide receiver room, but so much to the point that I don't think a quick onboarding is to, can be reasonably expected in Philadelphia.
Yeah.
Hurts and Lemon is missing reps this summer.
Wicks is obviously new to the team.
Hollywood Brown, what's left with Dallas Goedert.
I like DeVonta Smith.
He's a little bit dinged up now as well.
I always talk about trying to get off to that good start, that three and one, four and oh, four and one type of fantasy start.
I think the Eagles are going to be-- We're gonna be asking, what's wrong with the Eagles?
Are the Eagles in the panic meter?
That's gonna be something we're gonna be saying a month into the season because so many new players are here, a new coordinator.
You have to give time for that stuff to gel, for timing to set in- for tendency, you know, just to get your routines down.
So I don't think the Eagles are gonna get off to a quick start.
We'll see if they can justify where they're going, where they're being drafted.
And also, I don't-- I wonder if Hurts is just done as a double-digit touchdown score on the ground.
And without that, I can't justify the real estate he currently holds in ADP.
